Automated tool for determining and providing information about dwellings satisfying search criteria specified using multiple data modes

Abstract

Techniques are described for performing automated operations related to determining and providing information about dwellings for searches with search criteria combining data of multiple modes, such as at least free-form natural language text and one or more images. In some situations, the described techniques include training machine learning ('ML') model(s) to encode semantic information about dwellings from multiple data modes into corresponding vector-based embeddings, using the trained ML model(s) to generate vector embeddings for dwellings in one or more geographical areas to represent dwelling data of multiple data modes, using the trained ML model(s) to generate vector embeddings for a search query with multiple search criteria including data of multiple modes, and determining one or more matching target dwellings for the query by matching generated vector embeddings of candidate dwellings to the generated vector embedding(s) for the query, with information about matching target dwelling(s) then further used.
